General Torque Specifications
(rev. 4/97)
This chart provides tightening torques for general purpose applications when special torques are not specified on
process or drawing. Assembly torques apply to plated nuts and capscrews assembled without supplemental
lubrication (as received condition). They do not apply if special graphite moly-disulfide or other extreme pressure
lubricants are used. When fasteners are dry (solvent cleaned) add 33% to as received condition torque. Bolt head
identification marks indicate grade and may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Thick nuts must be used on
grade 8 capscrews. Use value in [ ] if using prevailing torque nuts.
